2017 Map of Tule Lake

About this map

Tule Lake and Fifteen Mile Lake are the defining seasonal features of this high prairie landscape in northern Montana. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the Fifteenmile Cr and the Northwest Fork Thirtymile Cr, which wind through the township boundaries of Blaine County. This modern survey illustrates how long-standing section lines and rural access routes like Zurich Canadian Rd and Cherry Ridge Rd continue to organize the agricultural and ranching life of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the natural water collection points that are critical to this arid environment, showing the relationship between local topography and the subtle basins of the lakes.
